Kinesiology 328: human Anatomy
Department of Kinesiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
1125 Biochem Building Section 1: 11:00 – 11:50 Section 2: 12:05-12:55
This course is designed to engage
students in the learning process while
providing a foundation of knowledge
in human anatomy. The course will
take a regional approach, beginning
with an introduction to different
systems of the body followed by three
sections covering different body
regions: thorax, abdomen, and pelvis;
the extremities; and head and neck.
Throughout the course, we will
continually revisit the following
themes: structure governs function
and systems work together for
proper function.
We will use discussion of pathology
and injury to help understand
functional anatomy, and we will use
our knowledge of anatomy to
problem solve with clinical cases. By
the end of this course you should
have developed a thorough
understanding of the anatomy of the
human body, be able to apply that
knowledge to make informed
decisions about your own health, and
be prepared for future studies and
practice as a clinician in a variety of
health settings.

Human Anatomy
What do I need to know to be successful?
What am I expected to learn? By the end of Kinesiology 328: Human Anatomy, you will be able to:
1. Explain how structure governs function in the human body.
2. Describe how systems work together in normal function.
3. Discuss how anatomy can contribute to dysfunction or pathology.
4. Use anatomical terminology in communication with people in the health field
5. Describe key transformative features occurring in the human body throughout the lifespan.
6. Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the human body.
7. Prepare to apply anatomy knowledge in future studies and practice as a clinician in a variety of health fields.
8. Use your knowledge of anatomy to make informed decisions about your own health.
Course Expectations and Learning Environment
A key goal of this class is to teach you how to think about anatomy and apply
anatomical knowledge to improve your clinical skills and/or health. In order to
reach this goal, as well as the other course goals, it is critical that we be partners in
learning. We want all students to be successful in this course, and we will work
hard to support your success. A common thread of healthcare settings is
TEAMWORK! You need to work in a team here as well. We have prepared
interactive and engaging activities for each class, and we will include problem
solving and clinical cases to give the memorization of anatomical knowledge an
application and purpose. Daily in-class activity documents (worksheets/activity
instructions/cases) will be posted on the course site. Please bring either a printed
or digital copy to each class, as we will use these for group work. We also
recommend that you bring extra paper as well as colored pens/highlighters/etc.
to class as we will be drawing out structures and concepts in class.
We will be available through email, the course website, and in person to answer
questions and support your learning. In return, we ask that you take
responsibility for your learning, attend all lectures, actively participate in
class activities, complete all homework assignments, and participate in
optional discussions if possible.
Required Digital Textbook and Online Materials
eTextbook & Online Material Human Anatomy, 8th Edition Marieb, Wilhelm, and Mallatt Mastering Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) Program *A digital version of the textbook is included with the online material required for this course. The online program will include homework and assessments that are part of the final grade for the course. Other Course Material: All announcements and additional materials, including a link to Mastering A&P,
can be found on the Canvas/Learn@UW site for this course. The site will have
daily course pages that include responsibilities for the day, pre-class assignments,
and course materials like important terms.

How Will I be assessed? Grading Scale:
A 93-100%
AB 88-92%
B 83-87%
BC 78-82%
C 70-77%
D 60-69%
F Below 60
Homework: All homework will be completed online through the course Mastering
A&P/MyLab and Mastering program before the beginning of each class at 10:59 am.
A calendar on Mastering A&P shows all homework assignments and there will be
homework on all class dates. Homework will consist of assigned readings and
questions. You can use your notes and easily reference the eBook in a separate window
as you answer the questions. Through the Mastering A&P you will see instructor notes
and highlights in the readings to help you focus on important concepts. The goals of
the homework are to provide you with a foundation of knowledge on each topic prior
to class and to help you stay on-track with the material in this fast-paced course. The
homework will count for 20% of your overall grade.
Exams: There will be four in-person exams, one for each unit. Each unit exam counts
for 20% of your overall grade. The exams will consist of knowledge and
application/case type questions. You will have an opportunity to answer practice
questions during class through the response system.
The three exams occurring during the semester will be held from 5:45-7:15 pm on the
following dates. Please note the final exam information will be provided soon.
• Monday February 13th
• Thursday March 9th
• Monday April 10th
Core Course Concepts
1. Structure governs function. 2. Everything works together. 3. Anatomical variation is very common. 4. Anatomical terminology is the common language of medical sciences. 5. Normal changes occur in our human anatomy throughout life, from
embryological origin to old age. 6. Sometimes what’s optimal for normal function can also facilitate pathology. 7. Knowledge of anatomy will help you make reason through anatomical and
clinical questions (e.g. how would I test this, what might be the function of the structure?
8. Knowledge of anatomy will help you problem solve in the healthcare setting (e.g. clinical diagnosis, research, personal health)
